Strike up the band and let the confetti fly! This week, the Wii™ Shop Channel
celebrates the momentous release of its 250th game title for the Virtual
Console™, pushing the selection of classic games to an exhilarating new high.
And because a special occasion deserves a special guest, Nintendo is thrilled to
name the beloved Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars™ as the game to hold
this exciting distinction. Along with a delightful new WiiWare™ title and a
delirious underwater adventure, this gem from the Super NES® era guarantees a
festive, fun-packed Labor Day holiday for Wii™ owners of all stripes.

Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at
9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet
connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be
purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games
are:

WiiWare

My Aquarium (Hudson
Entertainment, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): With swaying
aquatic plants and fish idly swimming about, My Aquarium is a relaxing Wii
experience that allows you to enjoy a virtual aquarium in your spare time.
Whether freshwater or saltwater, you can select from over 40 popular types of
fish, including favorites like the Ocellaris clownfish, the freshwater angelfish
and the Asian arowana. You can also create up to six different aquariums and
personalize them by adding decorations like seaweed and driftwood. In My
Aquarium, you can send aquariums to your registered Wii Friends. The aquariums
can even be set with special dates, such as a friend's birthday, that the fish
will commemorate with a dance. Feed your fish and watch them steadily grow from
fry to adult. Then, after meeting certain conditions, you can breed them.
Another feature will allow you to interact with your fish using your Wii Remote™
controller in fun ways, like "tapping" the glass of your aquarium.

Virtual Console

Clu Clu Land™ (NES®, 1-2 players,
Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Take a deep breath and prepare for a
puzzle game set in the underwater kingdom of Clu Clu Land. The greedy Sea
Urchins have stolen all of Clu Clu Land's gold bars and buried them in a series
of mazes. As Bubbles, a brave bubble fish, you'll set out to uncover all of the
gold bars in each maze. But you'll have to be careful: Sea Urchins will
relentlessly pursue Bubbles, and there are also dangerous black holes that must
be avoided. Bubbles isn't defenseless, though, as she has the ability to stun
Sea Urchins with sound waves and quickly change direction using posts scattered
throughout the stages. Not only that, but the locations of the gold bars in each
maze form the outline of another object—once you know the object, you're well on
your way to finding the gold. With 20 stages to complete and increasingly
complex conditions (like having to pass over the gold bars twice to uncover
them), you might just want to bring along a friend for help.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
(Super NES, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Set in the Mushroom
Kingdom and featuring its cast of well-known characters, this adventure RPG
begins with a familiar scenario: Mario™ must rescue Princess Toadstool™ from
Bowser™. However, a mysterious new enemy named Smithy soon appears, and Mario
and Bowser are forced to fight as allies for the first time in their long
history. In the quest to defeat their powerful new foe, they'll journey across a
wide variety of locations (a town of mining moles, a tropical forest, a
thundering waterfall—just to name a few) and tackle a mix of obstacles requiring
both expert timing and strategy to overcome. Along the way, they'll gain
experience and grow more powerful, while also meeting new characters whose
unique abilities will be needed to take on Smithy and his gang. Striking a
perfect balance of traditional RPG elements and the action-packed game play
Mario is famous for, it's easy to see why this title has earned "legendary"
status.
